      Back when I lived in Iowa, I would always go running directly after the tornado, because in the summer months, it was the only time it was cooler than Hell. I started calling it "God's Ceiling Fan". I actually really liked living in Iowa in many ways, but the weather SUCKS, it really does, don't ask me what the good season is because there isn't one. Way too hot in the summer, way too cold in the winter, way too stormy in between.

    I enjoy the midwest (Cleveland at the moment) for its architecture, low cost of living, tons of freight trains, industrial, museums, some really amazing metro parks, different nationalities, and overall character. It does have a decent amount of crime but i have managed to avoid any issues by simply being home at a reasonable time and not trotting through the rough areas.

      I agree ., cleveland is my appeal for Ohio at the moment. I’ve lived in Palm Beach FL, Chicago, Buffalo, Boston and visited far more cities.
      Cleveland is one of my favorite cities ever. The attitude people have for this city; the love, respect, admiration, and loyalty. They Love their browns and do not care if they are going through a losing streak. I read that Cleveland has never had trouble selling tickets for their home games despite lackluster seasons that went on going for years. People still love the Browns and I have so much respect for that . Just like they love their city. Every city that I’ve been to, including Columbus .. The same does not exist. The closest city that may resemble would be Detroit. Not in terms of crime or population decline or whatever else but in terms of love from local citizens. Columbus and their buckeyes are used to winning a lot but when they will lose a game I see people trash the buckeyes who were just cheering before.. I cannot imagine the same fans standing by them if they experience what the browns have. Not true loyalty.
      Cleveland is definitely thriving and it’s downtown is booming and it’s going under a massive resurgence. The energy and positivity is the best that you can find in Ohio.
      Downtown Cleveland over downtown Columbus or cincy any day. More things to do And the most densely populated city in the state.

    Most depressed city in the US
    Most number of adolescent depression and suicides
    Highest number of divorces
    Most obese city in the nation
    Highest crime in the state now
    However, we have the highest job market. Medical, car manufacturing and banking. Everyone always has a job. We’ve never really suffered job issues, even during bad times. Great healthcare second to Indianapolis.
    Our hospitals rank 2 and 3rd in the nation. And we have lots of them.

      @@BezmenovDisciple Hi ;) Hope my answer is correct. Since 2001 the use and possession of drugs stopped being treated as a crime. Of course, if a person is caught with some kilos that are still a crime. I don't know how much grams for personal use are considered under being considered a crime. To sell it's illegal and a crime. But if you are caught doing drugs (heavy or not) you are treated like a person who needs treatment and not a criminal. If it’s marijuana maybe the Police just say to throw that away or confiscate the drugs and nothing happens. But if it’s the hard ones, you are redirected to a Drugs Dissuasion Committee. So you can be seen and probably being medicated with methadone. The person may be obliged to do some community service or pay a fine. It's not a drug's paradise, but people are by law considered patients, not criminals. I think I'm pretty close to what is the reality here. Cheers ;)

      When the Midwest was named “Midwest”, it originally came from the “Northwest Territories” which included Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and some parts of Minnesota. At that time, places like Ohio and Indiana were considered “west” because the rest of the known country was so Eastern such as Vermont, New York and Connecticut. So back in the 1800’s, when your family said you’re “going west” that generally meant Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, because that’s what it meant back then. Obviously now it’s different with actually far west states being established, but it’s more of a time period thing, as well as a cultural thing. Many German immigrants inhabited the midwestern lands and therefore, the Midwest states are culturally closer to each other. Even though Ohio borders, say, West Virginia, it has much more in common culturally with places like Iowa and Missouri.

      @@Sle3plessNights I suppose a smart, well traveled person such as yourself recognizes that the same blanket statement might be made for just about any state, city, county, town, hamlet or country, and one's opinion depends entirely upon one's perspective. Cities with seemingly endless variety of activities such as NYC, Paris, London, and states such as California with near infinite variations of topography, climate, jobs, population, and activities, are not uniformly appreciated. From where I sit, Ohio is hardly a music mecca. Ohio is just like any other place and what one makes of it depends on one's attitude.

      Apparently Covington is the south though. Kentucky wasn't a highlighted state in the thumbnail. This is why it's goofy to judge regions based on state outlines. Plus when you leave one state and enter the next, even if it's in a "different region" things aren't gonna change that quickly entering a new state lol. I'm from Florida but now live in Louisville...this isn't the south. It snows here. Plus I can drive to and back from Canada before I'd even reach Florida.

It was cool to hear everyone's experience with it. Tornados can be destructive and ruin lives but are intriguing and can be sort of beautiful.

    As a native born Chicagoan, anywhere in southern Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois are nice places. I've been through Kansas and love the openness of the vast rural areas while southern Missouri is more dense in forestry versus the north. Michigan is my favorite state, but only in the summer and like Wisconsin/Minnesota/Iowa gives me the chills in the winter. Chicago has great beaches after they've thawed - usually sometime in early May. I can only tolerate seeing three months of the same old dirty snow so I'm glad to now be living somewhere slightly north of the 37th parallel in a Twilight Zone called Centralia. Nice YT video, thanks!

However, Dayton does have a great arts institute, as well as orchestras, dance, and theater. There are also a number of great national parks that are absolutely gorgeous. Hocking Hills and Old Man's Cave are some great spots. Ohio is also the most affordable state to live in, just saying.
